Orbost Region is located on the delta of the Snowy River and is surrounded by the pristine natural beauty of several State and National Parks. It is within minutes of wild, un-spoilt beaches at Corringle, and is only a short drive away from the coastal community of Marlo which offers a wide range of ocean, river and estuarine activities.

Once a major timber hub, Orbost Region's main role now is in the provision of support services for a broad ranging agricultural industry, as well as an expanding recreational tourism industry. Residents of the district enjoy a relaxed, comfortable lifestyle, with excellent health services and diverse sporting and cultural activities.
